Love is the Only Answer, Never Hate

 "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule." ~ Buddha

While reflecting deeply upon how we need to truly move forward in the way we consciously choose to treat one another, this particular segment from West Side Story, which is highly poignant and direct, kept coming to mind.  This movie (and play, but mostly the movie) had a significant impact on me when I was young.  

 


Next, I'd like to share another powerful film clip that is masterful, from Romeo and Juliet, on which West Side Story was based.   


Stories such as these carry impact over time because the lessons they share are ever relevant.  Yet so often, we don't listen.  We need to listen.  Every one of us will suffer if we don't.
